On the Relativity in Configuration Space: A Renewed Physics In Sight

TL;DR

This paper explores a configuration space framework where spacetime emerges from the degrees of freedom of particles, leading to new interactions beyond standard 4D gravity, applicable to particles and branes.

Contribution

It introduces a configuration space perspective that redefines spacetime and predicts additional interactions stemming from multidimensional configuration spaces.

Findings

Spacetime is a subspace of configuration space.

Multidimensional configuration spaces imply extra interactions.

The framework applies to particles and branes.

Abstract

The idea that possible configurations of a physical system can be represented as points in a multidimensional configuration space ${\cal C}$ is explored. The notion of spacetime, without ${\cal C}$, does not exist in this theory. Spacetime is associated with the degrees of freedom of a chosen single particle within a considered configuration, and is thus a subspace of ${\cal C}$. Finite dimensional configuration spaces of point particles, and infinite dimensional configuration spaces of branes are considered. Multidimensionality of a configuration space has for a consequence the existence of extra interactions, besides the 4D gravity, both at macroscopic and microscopic scales.
